~ in volume path

[dmitrig01]

If I try to mount something relative to my home folder, instead it creates a folder called "~" inside the current folder, and uses that.

Fun! Probably need an os.expanduser() in there.

PR welcome 😄

Tricky one to write tests for ;) Unless you can set $HOME in the tests and it will use it.

[aanand]

I believe it will. From the docs for os.path.expanduser:

On Unix, an initial ~ is replaced by the environment variable HOME if it is set; otherwise the current user’s home directory is looked up in the password directory through the built-in module pwd. An initial ~user is looked up directly in the password directory.

So presumably, if os.environ['HOME'] is assigned to, expanduser will pick it up.

[aanand]

Yep!

>>> import os
>>> os.environ['HOME']
'/Users/aanand'
>>> os.environ['HOME'] = '/somewhere/else'
>>> os.path.expanduser('~/Desktop')
'/somewhere/else/Desktop'
